While the patch itself is correct, it is not sufficient. Instead please
revert commit 5d20f1ccb3393 ("arm64: dts: imx8qm-tqma8qm-mba8x: Disable
Cortex-A72 cluster"). This will restore the thermal zone for cpu1-cluster.
This commit was created with the intention to be reverted, once the
errata has been dealt with.
With the revert:

Thanks and best regards,
Alexander
